It's so easy

A good easy win yesterday, and the papers are pretty magnanimous, preferring to slag off Spurs, rather than us, for a change. The Sunday Times singles out Fabio for, deserved, praise:

The Da Silva twins are identical, sharing the same wide-eyed, curly-haired boyishness, youthful builds and coltish gaits. Injuries meant Fabio had to wait for yesterday’s debut. Spectators mused that he could not be as good as his brother and soon knew their instincts were right: he looks better. From kick-off until he was forced off early in the second half with a calf knock, Fabio tore up and down his flank, overshadowing the teammate he kept surging beyond on the overlap, Cristiano Ronaldo, World Footballer of the Year but United’s second best left-sided player yesterday.

The Telegraph single out Tevez for, again deserved, praise:

He hustled and bustled, scrapped and shimmied and utterly destroyed the Spurs defence. The combination of talent and tenacity is incredibly rare and it was his closing down as much as anything that decided this game. Spurs couldn't deal with him.

The Observer report concentrates almost exclusively on Spurs, so nothing to quote there really, I'll pick out this on our second goal:

Berbatov latched expertly on to a long ball forward from Carrick and confidently beat Alnwick from the edge of the area. Inevitably that prompted boos from the travelling support, much to Ferguson's disgust. "That's the nature of life now," the United manager said. "It's a social disease, I think. We must be the only club left to actually welcome back our former players."

The Guardian blog has an article on the (non) story I mentioned yesterday of not playing replays, again I won't bother with it. It does lead us nicely to The Mail's match report though, which has this in it:

even Sir Alex Ferguson deigned to treat the match with the seriousness it deserved, sending out a near full strength side from the injury depleted squad at his disposal.

"Even"? Since when didn't Sir Alex treat it with seriousness? The Mail continues in a ridiculous vein with two other (non) stories. One on Sir Alex apparently "igniting a club v country row" by saying Rooney might not be fit in time for the next England game. Stating facts is now a crime...
And one on Gus Hiddink slagging off Ronaldo for having nice hair and being attractive. Neither worth looking at.
It also has a story updating us on Owen Hargreaves injury:

The 28-year-old is due back in England this week to start rehabilitation and hopes to take part in pre-season training.
